Senna’s lap record and local run

Ayrton Senna would have cut a strange figure running from the Diplomat Hotel in Llanelli to Pembrey along the winding country roads. Usually he would be straightening out those S bends like Nigel Wyn in his souped up Cortina.

Ron Cant recalls the time he spent with the Formula 1 World Champion when he visited Carmarthenshire all those years ago.

We will publish the piece soon. In the meantime here is a wonderful cartoon by Mark Jennings highlighting Senna’s visit.
